Today the tree comes down from the attic along with all of our stockings. Except he won't be here and now I have a stocking with his name embroidered on it. It would simply be wrong to hang it. So, now I am off to search for new stockings because I just can't deal. I might not break down in tears every day, but I miss Maximus every single day. Almost 2 months later, it still doesn't feel real and it still isn't fair.

  3. ((Hugs)) It does not seem real that he is gone, I really miss hearing about him. You are going to hurt and miss him all the time and that is his way of letting you know he is near.Make a stocking for Shelby and know that this will probably be her first real Christmas with a home where she is loved, even if she is becoming a sassy pants!!

  4. I'm with Marie. Just imagine where Shelby would be if she hadn't been rescued. And as awful as it is to lose a part of the family, at least Max died in peace with you by his side.

  5. I'm sorry that it still hurts, but you make me feel more normal at least. Max and Odie are having a blast this winter I'm sure.
